A distant night bird mocks the sun. I wake as I have always done, To freshly scented sycamore And cold bare feet on hardwood floor. My steaming coffee warms ny face I'm diappointed in the taste. But there's a peace the early brings The morning world of growing things. (instrumental) I feel the moments hurry on It was today, it's died away, And now it is forever gone. And I will drink my coffee slow And I will watch my shadow grow And disappear in firelight And sleep alone again tonight. |

Forget that girl, She'll only make you sad someday. Forget that girl, She'll never make you happy. Stay away from her, my friend, Stay away from her. Forget that girl, She'll only bring you down again. Forget that girl, She'll only make you lonely. Stay away from her, my friend, Stay away from her. There was a time when she could really love you When she was thinking only of you But now she's thrown herself above you And there's nothing you can do. Forget that girl, Even tho you find it's hard. Forget that girl, Even though you love her. She's in love with him, my friend, She's in love with him. Oh yeah, she's in love with him....... |

I've been standing on the corner all day Tryin' to think of little things to say 'Cause she walks by ev'ry day about this time And I don't think, I'll ever get her off of my mind. Well I only met her 'bout a week ago But the way she smiles let me know That she could see that maybe we were two of a kind. And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind. Oh she's so pretty I couldn't believe She'd ever look my way But the way I'm feeling I'm gonna be stealing That little girl's heart today. Well, I'm so happy I could almost fly And I guess you know the reason why, I'm walkin' down the street with her little hand in mine. And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind.

Movin' fast and movin' slow I'm in a crowd yet I'm all alone The road is long the road is rough I do believe I've had enough I'm gonna turn around and head for home. And I hope you're there And you still care And if you do, I'll spend my life with you. I've had all the time I need To rearrange my mind and lead The life I thought I wanted yesterday I played a game that couldn't last And now some mem'ries from the past Have turned my thoughts around a different way. And girl, I find You're still on my mind. And if you want me to I'll spend ny life with you. [Instumental] And girl, I find You're still on my mind.

If I learned to play the violin And I traded my old guitar in, Would your parents still object, Or would I win their respect If I learned to play the violin? I would even go and cut my hair Though my friends would point and say I'm square, Girl, would your society Still look down their nose at me If I learned to play the violin? I'd give up my beat-ways, Take up more discreet ways, All you've got to do is ask me to, Whoa-oa, just ask me to And I'd learn to play the violin, Turn my back on everything I've been, I'd be like somebody new, But, not change my love for you If I learned to play the violin. SOLO I'd give up my beat-ways, Take up more discreet ways, All you've got to do is ask me to, Whoa-oa, just ask me to. And I'd learn to play the violin, Yes, I'd learn to play the violin, And I'd learn to play the violin, Yes, I'd learn to play the violin. fade out... |

Love's a thing that needs one to thrive on
Then it grows At least that's what I've been told You can't love someone If you find that all you get in return A heart that's cold CHORUS They say you need love to love You gotta have love to love They all say it works that way. But if it's true, Why do I love you? Why do I love you? Seems like you keep trying to break me You do things designed just to make me cry And I've heard if warm lips don't touch you Love won't grow no matter how much you try CHORUS X2 Why do I love you...? |

Now listen just a minute while I sing this song,
Don't you worry baby it won't take long. I'm just about ready to draw the line, So don't be surprised if I leave this time. Well I'm goin' north and I'm goin' south Don't want no more of your lyin' mouth. I'm hittin' the road, gonna ring some bells, Better know I can do it well. CHORUS: Midnight train, ramblin' ramblin' All night long I'm gamblin', gamblin' Been losin' all my money and it really is funny, umm badda dum. Midnight train, ramblin' ramblin' Al night I'm gamblin', gamblin' Well tell you what baby, well you better be movin' on. Well I really don't know where I'm goin' for sure, Ain't gotta map, it ain't no tour. Just headin' out to the open sky, Who knows, might even die. Well don't you worry your pretty little head 'Cause you never gave a dang what I did or said. That's why I'm packin' to leave this place Can't stand to look at your cheatin' face. CHORUS Well you treated me like a little boy And played around like I was a toy. Guess you thought I'd have the blues, Look whose cryin', guess you lose. CHORUS (twice) It's about that time, better be movin' on Midnight Train (version from "Missing Links, Vol. 3") 1: Well I'm an angry man, I sing an angry song, Tell you honey it won't be long, Well I'll pack my bags, get outa here, With my guitar and a case o' beer. Well I'm goin' north and I'm goin' south, Tell you honey, better shut you're mouth, Well I'll kick your head from here to hell, You better know I can do it well. CHORUS: Midnight train, ramblin', ramblin', All night long I'm a-gamblin', gamblin', Losin' all my money well it really is funny, hon. Midnight train, ramblin', ramblin', All night long I'm a-gamblin', gamblin', Tell you what'n baby well you better be movin' on. 2: Well I really don't know where I'm goin' for sure, Ain't got a map, and it ain't no tour, I'm just headin' out for the open sky, Who knows? Might even die. Well don't you worry your pretty little head, I never give a damn what I did or said. That's why I'm packin' to leave this place, Can't stand look at your cheatin' face. CHORUS: (repeat) 3: Well you treated me like a little boy, And you played around like I was a toy. I guess you thought I'd have the blues, Look who's cryin', guess you lose. CHORUS: (repeat) CHORUS: Midnight train, rambling, rambling, All night long I'm gambling, gambling. Losing all my money, well it really ain't so funny, hon. Midnight train, rambling, rambling, All night long I'm gambling, gambling. Tell you what'n baby, well you better be moving on. CHORUS: (repeat) CHORUS: It's about that time, better be movin' on. Get outa here, you better be movin' on. Well that's all she wrote, you better be movin' on. |

There's a certain something in the way
You looked at me and said you'd stay That let me know that I was out of line But I didn't know what else to do And like a fool I tested you, By demanding things of you which weren't mine And now I feel like such a fool For making you crawl back to me But you did it with such love That you're standing far above Me and all I did to you I'm sorry now, what can I do? I know that never in the world That I have found me such a girl Who's there to pick me up before I fall And if in the end we should go Both our separte ways I know The lesson I've learned here is worth it all. 'Cause now I feel like such a fool For making you crawl back to me But you did it with such love That you're standing far above Me and all I did to you I'm sorry now, what can I do?

When the world and I were young,
Just yesterday. Live was such a simple game, A child could play. It was easy then to tell right from wrong. Easy then to tell weak from strong. When a man should stand and fight, Or just go along. But today there is no day or night Today there is no dark or light. Today there is no black or white, Only shades of gray. I remember when the answers seemed so clear We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear. It was easy then to tell truth from lies Selling out from compromise Who to love and who to hate, The foolish from the wise. But today there is no day or night Today there is no dark or light. Today there is no black or white, Only shades of gray. It was easy then to know what was fair When to keep and when to share. How much to protect your heart And how much to care. But today there is no day or night Today there is no dark or light. Today there is no black or white, Only shades of gray. Only shades of gray. |

Her own sunshine factory Of painting smiles on dolls And then on me She's my sunny girlfriend And personality. Well, she's got a book That tells about everybody's past And she can make you slow While making your mind move fast She's my sunny girlfriend And she is never last. Oh, while I am sleeping Then she comes creeping Into my thoughts at night Gazing down through eyes As bright as wonder. She can send you on your way To everywhere She's only started After you think that she is there. Well, she's my sunny girlfriend, And she just doesn't care. Yes, she's my sunny girlfriend, She doesn't really care. |

You tell me that you've never been this way before.
You tell me things I know that I've heard somewhere. You're standing in the places and you're staring down through faces, that bring to mind traces of a girl, a girl that I knew somewhere. I just can't put my finger on what it is that says to me "Watch out! Don't believe her." I can't give any reasons girl, my thoughts are bound down in a whirl. I just can't think who in the world was that girl; I know I met her somewhere. Someway, somehow this same thing was done. Someone, somewhere did me this same wrong. Well, goodbye dear, I just can't take this chance again. My fingers are still burning from the last time. And if your love was not a game, I only have myself to blame. That's as may be, I can't explain. Just ask the girl that I knew somewhere. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By NESMITH, MICHAEL Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing |

Who would never take advantage Of a love bright as the sun. Someone to understand them, And you just may be the one. All men must have someone, have someone Who would never take for granted All the pleasures and the fun. Someone to stand beside them And you just may be the one. I saw when you walked by The love light in your eye And I knew I must try To win you more than just a friend, I'm starting near the end, And I go again.

You told me you'd always stay, you told me! You told me you'd never stray, you told me! All these things you said you said sincerely. Still I am leaving you in spite of what you told me. I've heard things that did not match what you told me. And of your love that would not last as you told me. Forwarned is forearmed, it hurts, I'm leaving. I may be wrong I can't love what I'm just hearing. Times have made me shy Of all the things you're saying Time have made me shy Of girls and all the games they are playing. Someday I may see the truth of what you told me. I may find I left too soon and that you told me. Only things that you were honestly feeling. I must have more to love than what you told me. Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me. Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me. |

I tell you she's a heart breaker and you can't tell me she ain't,
There's a little devil in her under all that powder and paint, And she can hang you up every night, And get you so uptight, She's 99 pounds, I say 99 pounds, She's 99 pounds of some kind of dynamite. I tell you half a ton of sugar ain't half as sweet as her, She can change you, rearrange you till you don't remember what you were, And it don't even pay to fight, 'Cause she don't know wrong from right, She's 99 pounds, I said 99 pounds, She's 99 pounds of some kind of dynamite. SOLO And, well, she may look like an angel, but she's made out of T-N-T, She's a little, bitty package of explosivity, Yay, but when she holds you tight, She's some kind of outtasight, She's 99 pounds, I say 99 pounds, I say 99 pounds of some kind of dynamite.

She's singing me songs of love so sweet, And the words she's saying are so simple and complete: "I love you, truly, do." Acapulco sun, Tells me she's the one, Dream about the sunset till she comes.

Oh, I could hide neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings. The six oclock alarm would never ring. Whoops its ringing and I rise, Wipe the sleep out of my eyes. My shavin razors cold and it stings. Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. You once thought of me As a white knight on a steed. Now you know how happy I can be. Oh, and our good times starts and end Without dollar one to spend. But how much, baby, do we really need. Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. [instrumental interlude] Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean.

Did you ever step in a water pipe, pipe
Fall to the bottom of the water system And there did you meet a little alligator Who answered to the name of Alvin If you did, he's mine I lost him I threw my Alvin down the water pipe, pipe Down to the bottom of the water system Because he was getting too big for his britches But now I'm getting lonely since he's gone I miss him |

Girl, I know the grass is greener just around the bend,
Gotta say goodbye, but don't you fear, Though the road is broken, I might fail to find the end, I won't disappear.

I'm gonna show you how I feel Free as a bird up in the sky I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try Now I am chasing rainbows But I won't let that girl know 'Til I have found my pot of gold I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try And when I feel like turning back, coming home What could I say without the rainbow and the pot of gold?

Lady's Baby smiles and coos,
Takes away my lonely blues. (Lady's/Baby's?) mother cooks my meals, Warm and cool is really real... Runnin' never was much fun - All it did was bring me down. Chasin' round isn't where it's at. Tension puts you in the ground. Lady's Baby pulls my hair, Lets me know he's really there. (Lady's/Baby's?) mother touches me, And at last I really see... Runnin' never was much fun - All it did was bring me down. Chasin' round isn't where it's at. Tension puts you in the ground. Lady's Baby lets me know Life was meant for movin' slow.

Love to me is blue-eyed and blonde. Oh, that's sweet Magnolia. Apple pie on the window still warm. That's my sweet Magnolia Walking under a sky that's so blue After rain has fallen. When she's walking so close by my side My troubles seem to just run and hide. (la-dee, da-dum, etc.) Well, walking under a sky that's so blue After rain has fallen. When she's walking so close by my side My troubles seem to just run and hide. Magnolia Simms is my little doll. I can't live without her. For if she goes my world will just fall. Stay with me, Magnolia. (Sound of record skipping) Stay with me, Magnolia. |

Reasoned verse, some prose or rhyme
Lose themselves in other times And waiting hopes cast cast silent spells That speak in clouded clues. It cannot be a part of me, For now it's part of you. Careful plays on fields That seems to vanish when they're in between And softly as I walk away In freshly tattered shoe. It cannot be a part of me For now it's part of you. Sunshine, ragtime Blowing in the breeze. Midnight, looks right Standing more at ease. Silhouettes and figures stay Close to what he had to say And one more time the faded dream Is saddened by the news. It cannot be a part of me For now it's part of you. Well, Sunshine, ragtime Blowing in the breeze. Midnight, looks right Standing more at ease. Sunshine, ragtime Blowing in the breeze. Midnight, looks right Standing more at ease. Silhouettes and figures stay Close to what he had to say And one more time the faded dream Is saddened by the news. It cannot be a part of me For now it's part of you. |

So, I just couldn't wait and hang around You always said must be free But you couldn't see you were loosing me And messing up the one good thing we had CHORUS: And now I'm going out the way that I came in The game is over now, I couldn't win My heart is all I have to pack And this time girl I wont be back And years from now I'll turn around and see The girl I left behind me I told myself that things would be ok You would come around to my way any day As time went on you just stayed the same No, you couldn't chang or be rearranged I'm picking up the pieces of my life CHORUS As time went on you just stayed the same No, you couldn't chang or be rearranged I'm picking up the pieces of my life CHORUS Behind me... |

"The circus is coming to town." it said on the poster. "Get your tickets now, before it's too late." A dancing bear and a circus clown it's so funny. I can't wait to see everything there. I feel like I'm already there. I must see her fly through the air. Horse running 'round and 'round in a circle. I can't wait to see everything there. I wonder if it's just like they say on the poster. If it is I know I will be there. I feel like I'm already there. I must see her fly through the air. I feel like I'm already there. I must see her fly through the air. (repeat and fade) |

I wanted you from the first day I saw you, The first day I looked into your eyes. That's when I knew that I would adore you. It was no surprise. We were made for each other As the stars were made for the sky. We were made for each other No other love have I. You took my hand. Was then you had known it? Was that when you started loving me? Was it the way I smiled that had shown it? Was that the day you could see? We were made for each other As the stars were made for the sky. We were made for each other No other love have I. We were made for each other As the stars were made for the sky. We were made for each other No other love have I. |

Did you know the water's turning yellow? Have you heard the sky was falling down? Did you see that guy fall out the window? Did you know the circus was in town? Have you heard about Bill Chamber's mother? She said, "A woman's work is never done." And, oh yes, about that yellow water, Have you noticed the color of the sun? You have a way of making everything you say seem unreal. Are you aware that the people who care are mostly stainless steel? (Instrumental interlude) Well, I hope you finally got my letter. It should have come about this time last year. And I hope Bill Chamber's mother's better. Oh, dear! The moon's just disappeared. You have a way of making everything you say seem unreal.

Original:
The king of Zor, he called for war And the king of Zam, he answered. They fashioned their weapons one upon one Ton upon ton, they called for war at the rise of the sun. Out went the call to one and to all That echoed and rolled like the thunder. Trumpets and drums, roar upon roar More upon more. Rolling the call of "Come now to war." Throughout the night they fashioned their might With right on the side of the mighty. They puzzled their minds plan upon plan Man upon man And at dying of dawn the great war began. They met on the battlefield banner in hand. They looked out across the vacant land. And they counted the missing, one upon one, None upon none. The war it was over before it begun. Two little kings playing a game. They gave a war and nobody came. And nobody came. And nobody came. And nobody came. And nobody came.

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me. Love was out to get me That's the way it seemed. Disappointment haunted all my dreams. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried. I thought love was more or less a given thing, Seems the more I gave the less I got. What's the use in tryin'? All you get is pain. When I needed sunshine I got rain. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried. |

Sock it to me
Floatin' down the river With a saturated liver And I wish I could forgive her But I do believe she meant it When she told me to forget it And I bet she will regret it When they find me in the morning wet and drowned And the word gets 'round. Goin' down. Goin' down. Comin' up for air It's pretty stuffy down there I'd like to say I didn't care But I forgot to leave a note And it's so hard to stay afloat I'm soakin' wet without a boat And I knew I should have taken off my shoes It's front page news. Goin' down. Goin' down. I wish I had another drink It wouldn't be so hard to think Besides I got the picture straight She must have had another date I didn't need this extrra weight I wish that I could see my way to shore Don't want no more. Goin' down, I'm goin' down. And now I see the life I led I slept it all away in bed I should have learned how to swim instead And now it's really got me stumped I can't believe I really jumped I'd like to get my tummy pumped I can't believe they drink this stuff in town This dirty brown. Goin' down. Goin' down. I wished I'd looked before I leaped I didn't know it was so deep Been down so far I don't get wet Haven't touched the bottom yet This river scene is gettin' old I'm hungry, sleepy, wet and cold She told me to forget it nice I should have taken hr advice I only want to go on home I'd gladly leave that girl alone What a way to spend the night If I don't drown, I'll die of fright My pappy taught me how to float But I can't swim a single note He threw me in to teach me how I stayed there floatin' like a mama cow And now I've floated way downstream If I could find my way to shore I'd never, never do this anymore I'll give you three, I've been down nine I'm goin' down just one more time. Goin' down. Goin' down. Now the sky is gettin' light An everythng will be all right Think I finally got the knack Just floatin' here lazy on my back I never really liked that town I think I'll ride the river down Just movin' slow and floatin' free There's a river swinging under me. Waving back to the folks on shore I should have thought of this before I'm floatin' down to New Orleans Goin' to pick up on some swingin' scenes I know I'll know a better day I'll go down groovin' all the way. Goin' down. Goin' down. |

Love in a vacuum, love in a space,
Love without even the little hint of a trace, Love in confusion then love doesn't show on your face. Love is a stranger, love is a box, Love is the key that fits a million locks, Love is a mystery when love is the devil you call. Put your heart and soul where I can see them shine, I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine, I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine. Love at a distance, love at a walk, Love at the limit if only people could talk, Love for the moment it takes to its wings like a hawk. Love for tomorrow, love for today, Love for the hour it could be coming your way, Love for a puzzle you need a solution to play. Put your heart and soul where I can see them shine, I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine, I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine, I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine. I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine, I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine, I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine, I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine, I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine, I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine. |

I know about the guy who treated you so bad
He took your love and then just walked away I know that you have got a reason to be sad But help is on its way Hold on, girl; be a little bit stronger Hold on, girl; wait a little bit longer Hold on, girl, help is on its way I know you feel as though your world is at an end But you don't have to live with yesterday I promise you the sun is gonna shine again And help is on its way Hold on, girl; now that we are together Hold on, girl; things are gonna be better Hold on, girl, help is on its way |

The sun that's falling from the south-western sky
Tells me that I must depart So by sundown today I'll be on my way But I'll be leavin' my heart It's not the country side that appealed to my eyes It's the spirit and it captured my mind But the things I tried to be made a wreck out of me Now a different road I mind find These things I think are new I guess they're really old It seems I've done 'em once before Now to go back to that fork in the road Takes all the strength of my soul and more Oh good bye, good bye you cruel town You've been a fair weather friend Now I will go to some places that I know Where things don't start just to end These things I think are new I guess they're really old It seems I've done 'em once before Now to go back to that fork in the road Takes all the strength of my soul and more Good bye, good good bye you cruel town You've been a fair weather friend Now I will go to some place that I know Where things don't start just to end Uh! |

How insensitive
I must have seemed when she told me that she loved me How unnerved and cold I must have seemed when she told so sincerely Why she must have asked Did I just turn and stare in icy silence? What was I to do, what can you do When a love affair is over? So now she's gone away And I'm alone with the memory of her last look Vague and drawn and sad I see it still, all the heartache in that last look Why she must have asked Did I just turn and stare in icy silence? What was I to say, what can you say When a love affair is over? |

I wanna be free,
Like the bluebirds flying by me, Like the waves out on the blue sea, If your love has to tie me, Don't try me, say good-bye. I wanna be free, Don't say you love me, say you like me But when I need you beside me, Stay close enough to guide me, Confide in me, whoa-oh-oh. I wanna hold your hand, Walk along the sand, Laughing in the sun, Always having fun. Doing all those things Without any strings to tie me down. I wanna be free, Like the warm September wind, babe, Say you'll always be my friend, babe, We can make it to the end, babe, Again, babe, I've gotta say... I wanna be free, I wanna be free, I wanna be free. |

If you have the time would you keep me in mind
Mind you, I only want to treat you kind If you're all alone, would you pick up the phone And dial the number that you know Will bring back the glow That's been gone for such a long, long time I feel like I'm just acting like a fool, Talking to my pillow, once a happy fellow was I I know that I'll get over you if I have to, but do I have to? I don't want to spend another day being so far away From the girl that I love It's been gone for such a long, long time I feel like I'm just acting like a fool, Talking to my pillow, once a happy fellow was I I know that I'll get over you if I have to, but do I have to? I don't want to spend another day being so far away From the girl that I love If you have the time would you keep me in mind Mind you, I only want to treat you kind If you're all alone, would you pick up the phone And dial the number that you know Will bring back the glow That's been gone for such a long, long time |

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me. Love was out to get me That's the way it seemed. Disappointment haunted all my dreams. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried. I thought love was more or less a given thing, Seems the more I gave the less I got. What's the use in tryin'? All you get is pain. When I needed sunshine I got rain. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried. |

Take the last train to Clarksville, And I'll meet you at the station. You can be be there by four thirty, 'Cause I made your reservation. Don't be slow, oh, no, no, no! Oh, no, no, no! 'Cause I'm leavin' in the morning And I must see you again We'll have one more night together 'Til the morning brings my train. And I must go, oh, no, no, no! Oh, no, no, no! And I don't know if I'm ever coming home. Take the last train to Clarksville. I'll be waiting at the station. We'll have time for coffee flavored kisses And a bit of conversation. Oh... Oh, no, no, no! Oh, no, no, no! Take the last train to Clarksville, Now I must hang up the phone. I can't hear you in this noisy Railroad station all alone. I'm feelin' low. Oh, no, no, no! Oh, no, no, no! And I don't know if I'm ever coming home. Take the last train to Clarksville, Take the last train to Clarksville, [repeat and fade] |

Hey, hey, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens,
I need help I'm falling again. Play the drum a little louder, Tell me I can live without her If I only listen to the band. Listen to the band! Weren't they good, they made me happy. I think I can make it alone. Oh, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens, I need help I'm falling again. Play the drum a little bit louder, Tell them they can live without her If they only listen to the band. Listen to the band! Now weren't they good, they made me happy. I think I can make it alone. Oh, woman plays a song and no one listens, I need help I'm falling again. C'mon, play the drums just a little bit louder, Tell us we can live without her Now that we have listened to the band. Listen to the band! |

I'm holdin' my hand out
Keepin' my head high Tryin' to get out of mechanical night When I get to the top of the clear crystal mountain I'm gonna stay up there as long as I can And look down Diggin' the sights all around Listenin' to all of the sounds And look down, and look down, and look in And my mind sends me reelin' Breathin' and feelin' I remember the time when I tried to come clean But my interests collided, besides I was misguided And who do you confide in when you trip on a dream? And look down Diggin' the sights all around Listenin' to all of the sounds And look down, and look down, and look in If you want to come with me And tell me what you see Just step in beside me and do what you want And you may see clearly Though it sometimes is lonely To be free is the only possession that counts I'm holdin' my hand out And keepin' my head high Tryin' to get out of mechanical night When I get to the top of the clear crystal mountain I'm gonna stay up there as long as I can Diggin' the sights all around Listenin' to all of the sounds And look down, and look down, and look down, and look down... Look down, look down, look down... Hold on, I'm comin'... |

Love's a thing that needs one to thrive on
Then it grows At least that's what I've been told You can't love someone If you find that all you get in return A heart that's cold CHORUS They say you need love to love You gotta have love to love They all say it works that way. But if it's true, Why do I love you? Why do I love you? Seems like you keep trying to break me You do things designed just to make me cry And I've heard if warm lips don't touch you Love won't grow no matter how much you try CHORUS X2 Why do I love you...? |

Mary, mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, mary, can I go too. This one thing I will vow ya, I'd rather die than to live without ya. Mary, mary, where you goin' to? Mary, mary, tell me truly What did I do to make you leave me. Whatever it was I didn't mean to, You know I never would try and hurt ya. Mary, mary, where you goin' to? What more, mary, can I do To prove my love is truly yours? I've done more now than a clear-thinkin' man would do. Mary, mary, it's not over. Where you go, I will follow. 'til I win your love again And walk beside you, But until then. Mary, mary, where you goin' to? Mary, mary, where you goin' to? Mary, where you goin' to? Mary, mary, mary, mary, mary, where you goin' to? |
